Life after the end
Chapter 10: Genders
Today is the day that Tobias and I find out the genders of our babies. I can't wait. They haven't stopped kicking since two weeks ago, when they started.
Right now Tobias and I are walking to the infirmary, hand in hand. I am wearing some black leggings and a dark grey, loose, maternity top. On my feet are black sneakers as they are the only shoes I actually find comfortable right now. Tobias is wearing his usual jeans and t-shirt with sneakers on his feet.
Our appointment is at one thirty, we arrive at the infirmary with five minutes to spare. We sign in and sit in some seats in the waiting room, still hand in hand.
"So, what do you want them to be?" Tobias asks me.
"I don't really mind, as long as they're healthy. But a boy and a girl would be nice." I say, smiling. "You?"
"Same, as long as they're healthy that is all that matters to me. But, a boy and a girl would be nice." He says.
A few minutes later Laura comes in and calls us. We stand and follow her into our usual room.
"So, take a seat on the bed and get comfortable. How are you feeling?" Laura asks as I get on the bed and Tobias sits on the chair next to the bed. She sets up the machine.
"I'm good. They started kicking two weeks ago and haven't stopped much since." I tell her.
"Yeah, that'll happen. Do you want to lift up your top and we can do the ultrasound." She says. I nod and lift up my top.
She squirts on the gel and puts the wand on top of it, moving it around my stomach. It isn't long before an image appears on the screen of our babies.
"They're looking good. Good size. Do you want to know the genders?" She asks.
"Yeah please." I say excitedly. Tears are filling my eyes as I look at my beautiful babies. I feel Tobias take my hand and squeeze it. I smile at him before looking back at the screen.
"Baby A is a… boy." Laura tells us, smiling.
A tear falls down my cheek. I'm having a son.
"Baby B is a… girl." She says, still smiling.
I look at Tobias to see that he is also crying, but smiling at the same time. He kisses me on the forehead.
"I love you." He says.
"I love you, too." I say before we both look back at the screen, at our son and our daughter.
"How many pictures do you want?" Laura asks.
"Just one please." I say.
She types some things into the machine and a picture comes out of it, she gives it to me. She then removes the wand from my stomach and puts it in the holder. She wipes my stomach off with some paper towels and I pull my shirt down before sitting up, the ultrasound in my hand.
"I will see you again in four weeks for another check-up." She says.
"Okay. Thanks." I say.
Tobias and I walk out of the room, hand in hand.
"Do you want to go and tell our friends the news?" He asks.
"Yeah, sure. Where are they?" I ask.
"Zeke told me they'd be at his apartment waiting for us to come and tell them the news." He tells me.
"Okay, let's go to Zeke's then." I say.
He nods and leads me to Zeke's.
As expected, when we get to Zeke's all of our friends are sitting in various places in the living room, waiting.
"So, what you having?" Christina asks excitedly.
"Well, it looks like there's going to be a little Tobias running around." I say.
"And a little Tris." Tobias adds.
Shauna, Hana and Christina squeal before congratulating us. Zeke, Harrison, Bud and Uriah congratulate us and give Tobias bro hugs.
"Right, we are giving you a baby shower." Christina says.
"Really? Do we really have to have a baby shower?" I say.
"Yeah, you do. It will be held in my apartment in four weeks." Christina says.
"Fine, whatever." I groan.
After that we just spend the afternoon talking and laughing about many things.
Hey Ravens, I am so sorry for not updating. I started college and my laptop messed up and wouldn't let me update sooner. But, luckily I am going to be getting a new laptop soon so I will be able to update more often. But not that often as I still have college.
I am sorry.
I will update as soon as I can.
Please review!
